  • ​What does it really mean to be a teacher? Are you solely providing knowledge, or do you see yourself as something more? Carly and guest Mike Grande, owner of RockOutLoud, explore a transformative concept—to not just teach but to coach.

    Mike Grande isn't just an instructor; he's a coach dedicated to making a deeper impact on the lives of his students. His insights shared through his book and personal experiences, shed light on why being a coach transcends the traditional role of a teacher.

    In this episode, they discuss:

    How music educators can take on the role of a coach, peeling back the layers of the coaching paradigm and how it offers the ability to connect with students on a deeper level.The impact of coaching and how it goes beyond academic achievements. It builds confidence and self-esteem and provides fulfillment for both teachers and educators. Adopting a coaching and abundant mindset cannot only transform the lives of their students but also see their businesses thrive.

    Mike empowers teachers to integrate these coaching principles into their approach, inspiring meaningful connections with students and families. It's a reminder of the profound difference we can make when we embrace the role of a coach in music education.

  • Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of selling your studio's services? The thought of marketing can bring up fear, uncertainty, and doubt. But what if we reframed how we perceive it? Marketing isn't just about selling—it's about sharing something wonderful.

    In today’s episode I’m exploring five methods that help you reframe how you think about marketing in a way that doesn’t include hard-sell strategies but instead focuses on providing value and new ideas.

  • Can you sense your students are getting bored or needing something new? Consider putting down the method books and really connecting with your students. In today's episode, Carly welcomes Tim Topham, a trailblazer in the music industry who challenges teachers to change their approach through creativity.

    You may feel like you lack creativity or couldn't possibly do a lesson without the book. But here's the thing: many of us, myself included, often hesitate to step outside our comfort zones and explore unfamiliar territories with our students. Tim challenges us to try something new and embrace the creativity we forget we had!

    In this episode we'll discuss:

    Tim's actionable approach caters to seasoned teachers and those just starting. The goal? To inspire teachers to make lessons more engaging and effective for their students.Activities and ideas that any teacher can implement to spark creativity and create engagement within those first few lessons.How do you sell this idea to parents? Tim walks you through it all – from activities students can do at home to strategies that use the imagination.

    Tim understands the hesitancy some teachers might feel about putting the book down and connecting with students on a more personal level. But trust your instincts, think outside the box, and have fun with your students!

  • As music teachers, it is so important that we teach our students skills other than those learned on a piano or guitar. Teaching them life skills can be valuable and solidify your role as a mentor in their lives. One of the skills that can be valuable is emotional resilience, the ability to pick themselves back up and keep going when they fail. While students will hit boundaries and obstacles that are difficult to overcome, your guidance can help them become who they want to be. Listen in to hear how Mary Mendoza has included these values in her teaching!

  • Paul Sarafin has over sixty online students. His primary instrument is guitar and he teaches using the Suzuki Method. Paul is also a member of our TMO community and has created a music application called Music Nest. I wanted to invite Paul to an interview because I think teachers need to hear about this amazing tool. It's different from other tools out there that I've seen! Furthermore, Paul has a big heart and an incredible background teaching the Suzuki Method for guitar. He has a lot of wisdom to share about running a successful online studio.
